We are Creating a Congregational Art Installation!

As we begin our series on Arts & Worship, we will begin expanding arts activities during worship!

For the next six Sundays, we will be creating a congregational art installation – that means you get to create a part of the background each week. At the end of the series, Jane Olson and Arts for Hearts will piece together the installation and add a 3D representation of flames to symbolize the Holy Spirit. We hope to display the installation somewhere prominent in the church for all to enjoy!

What to Expect:

For the next 6 Sundays, you will receive an art packet as you enter the sanctuary along with your bulletin. Adults and children alike are encouraged to participate! Each art packet will contain a square of mat board as well as 2 or more markers. ***Please note: the colors of your markers were selected specifically for this project, so this is one time we ask that you not share – use only the markers in your packet. Your task is to fill the mat board completely with color. You may just color it in using one marker or create a landscape, a checkerboard, a still life, a geometric shape, or anything you choose – just be sure to fill in the square completely.

The colors--blue, purple, crimson, and gold--are inspired by passages of Isaiah. Colors you will be working with:

January 23: blues

January 30: blues & purples

February 6: purples

February 13: purples & crimsons

February 20: crimsons

February 27: Unveiling!

Arts for Hearts is a part of Clarksville-Montgomery County Art & Heritage Development Council. The non-profit’s goal is to bring the healing power of art to community members who face economic, physical, developmental, or emotional barriers. Members of Arts for Hearts have helped in the planning and implementation of this arts in worship event.
